We have two gift-giving occasions.
The first is after the pledging ceremony. We give some small gifts, one of them having a rose on it. I gave my little a sewing kit and fabric to make letters.
The second is the night before initiation. Traditionally, letters are given to the MIT's, because after initiation, we go to Steak'N'Shake to celebrate.
